Hello Vicky, Thank you so much for taking the time to comprehensively describe your PreOrder experience with A T & T Wireless and Apple.
As for me, I have not yet determined if I will upgrade to the 6 series even though I am eligible for an upgrade. One reason why I don't pre-order, via A T & T Wireless, online, anyway, is because the last time I tried doing so, they required that I agree to give up my Unlimited data plan. Actually, the agreement was buried deep in the text but, nevertheless, it was there. Fortunately for me, I recognized this requirement and stopped the pre-order. Several of my friends, however, did not recognize this requirement and completed the order and lost their Unlimited data plan. As it turned out, many, many people lost their Unlimited data plans that time and A T & T Wireless received kind of a black eye as a result. Regardless, they did not re-instate those who lost their grandfathered plans. Since then, I stay away from pre-ordering anything that has to do with my iPHones. Should I decide to upgrade to the 6 series, I'll simply go into either an Apple Store or an A T & T Wireless corporate store and pick one up, making sure that nothing on my phone plan is changed. I strongly suspect that at some point, A T & T Wireless will simply withdraw the Unlimited data plan altogether but until then, I'm hanging on to it for dear life (smile). Again, thank you for sharing your experience.

You might also recall from my message of last night, while playing around and looking at my options and the Apple Store app not being able to reach AT&T to check my upgrade status, I was given a reservation number for an iPhone 6 Plus 16GB to be reserved. Thus, my question, would the Apple Store app have remembered this reservation and so not let me move forward with anything else, or is there a problem with the app in letting we VoiceOver users choose one of the options from AT&T, or was I doing something wrong in the app to cause the problem? Oh, as a side note, I did appreciate the tip about calling apple to order; but, well, I kind of enjoyed the experience of getting up and trying the pre-order as soon as it was available, kind of liked the challenge, even if it didn't work quite as I would have preferred in my case. And, either way, whether it be a bit sooner or later, I expect to have a new iPhone 6 Plus within the next couple of months, as I've had my 4S for three years now. Guess I got under five hours left to decide about that 16GB reserved for me. -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.
